Lexington's Art Studio Moving to Main Street

Lexington's Art Studio is moving to Main Street and changing its name. 

Owner Lee Swallie said he plans to open his business as The Pitter Platter at 112 E. Main Street on March 2. His current location on North Lake Drive is just too small. 

"We're growing," Swallie said, "and the business is too full." 

Swallie offers a studio where customers can drop in and paint their own ceramics - anything from mugs to serving platters to piggy banks. The new location will give him more space to store his ceramic inventory, he said.

He also needs the bigger space for hosting birthday parties and ladies' nights where attendants can paint ceramics.

About 35 students are enrolled in after-school art classes at Swallie's studio, and the new studio will give him plenty of space to continue teaching his students.

The storefront at 112 E. Main St. used to house Studio 112 Lexington Artist Collective, a place where several visual artists displayed and sold their artwork.
